The Providence Journal is undergoing a new change in its sports team.
Which ever team from 75 Fountain St. is choosing the winners of every high school football game in this current season? We will keep running this blog’s records for you — let us know when we are wrong, as we likely will be. However, the winner gets some pride in having defeated the other team for the year and an opportunity to write a smug column in the Providence Journal at the end of the season.
And I really hope it isn’t Eric Rueb because he surely will remind us of this until the beginning of the next fall.
Our other prophets are Rueb and myself, the legendary Jacob Rousseau, the GOAT Bill Koch, and finally ProJo’s sports editor, Bill Corey, though Tom Ryan was a constant contributor as well.
But that’s enough of the introduction; let’s move onto why you are here, the weekly Pigskin Picks blog for ProJo.
Enjoy!
